Back 1

Spins

Front 2

How is OCF defined

Back 2

any flight condition in which the aircraft does not respond immediately and properly to flight control inputs

Front 3

how can OCF be induced

Back 3

uncoordinated (out of balance) flight, improper control inputs, overly aggressive control inputs, structural damage

Front 4

what are the 3 phases of OCF

Back 4

poststall gyrations, incipient spins, steady state spins

Front 5

what causes the aircraft to progress from one stage to another in OCF

Back 5

pro-spin controls

Front 6

failure to promptly apply proper OCF recovery procedures during the 1st 2 stages of OCF will result in

Back 6

a steady state spin

Front 7

what are the indications of a post stall gyration

Back 7

loss of control effectiveness

Front 8

how can post stall gyration be identified (kind of same thing as last question but book separated the 2)

Back 8

uncommanded and often rapid aircraft motion about any axis

Front 9

T or F during poststall gyration the aircraft just buffets a little

Back 9

False - the aircraft could appear to be violently spinning, tumbling, or cartwheeling like a cheerleader

Front 10

what are 3 things that are inditive of a poststall gyration

Back 10

stalled or near stalled AOA (the aircraft itself is stalled) with stick shaker, transient or erratic airspeed indications, random turn needle indications

Front 11

what aerodynamic condition is always present in any OCF

Back 11

a stall

Front 12

If the poststall gyrations are not corrected what will occur

Back 12

incipient spin

Front 13

what are the indications of an incipient spin

Back 13

oscillatory - rotating motion, stalled AOA with stick shaker, airspeed accel or decel toward the steady state value, turn needle fully deflected in the direction of rotation

Front 14

Study prohibited manuevers from ops limits

Back 14

or you will be in blues and not flying

Front 15

what are the steps to set up a practice an OCF

Back 15

ensure proper altitude and cloud clearance, clear for traffic, complete checklist

Front 16

before entering the OCF where must the PCL be

Back 16

IDLE prior to applying the rudder

Front 17

The IP will tell you when to recover

Back 17

yep they will

Front 18

Name the bold face to recover from an OCF

Back 18

PCL - idle, CONTROLS - neutral, ALTITUDE - check then the non bold face is recover from the unusual attitude

Front 19

Maintain what rudder position during the OCF recovery

Back 19

Neutral

Front 20

If you make control inputs during the OCF trying to recover what could this do

Back 20

aggravate the OCF condition

Front 21

When the controls are neutral what recovers the aircraft from OCF

Back 21

the natural stability characteristics of the aircraft

Front 22

How will you know when the aircraft is starting to recover ( I think I am reading the book right for this question)

Back 22

Yawing motions dampen, pitch down and stabilize nose low, AOA no longer shows a stall, turn needle will give proper indications, airspeed begins to increase

Front 23

In an OCF below 6,000 ft occurs what action should you perform

Back 23

Eject

Front 24

the last step of recovering from an OCF that is not a bold face item is

Back 24

Recover from unusual attitude

Front 25

How do you know the aircraft is just in an unusual attitude and not OCF

Back 25

nose low attitude with no yawing motions

Front 26

If an OCF is encountered and recovery is not accomplished or unsuccessful what happens next

Back 26

a steady state spin

Front 27

a fully stalled aircraft with a constant yaw rate is in a

Back 27

steady state spin

Front 28

what are the two categories of steady-state spins and how are they characterized

Back 28

erect - yaw and positive G stall, inverted - yaw and negative G stall

Front 29

How are erect spins practiced (holy crap... giggitty)

Back 29

full aft stick, idle power, full rudder applied in the direction of the spin

Front 30

Erect spin characteristics

Back 30

sustained yaw rate, AOA above 18, turn needle fully deflected, 60° nose low, 2-3 seconds per turn, vsi pegged at 6,000 descent (400-500ft per turn) airspeed stable at 120-135

Front 31

How do you set up an erect spin entry

Back 31

(same as OCF) proper altitude and cloud clearance, clear the area, complete checklist

Front 32

Because of the oil system, during spin entry do not do this

Back 32

push to less than 1 G or allow the aircraft to sink before intentionally entering a spin

Front 33

How long should you be stabilized at 1 G before spin entry

Back 33

5 seconds

Front 34

How do you enter the erect spin

Back 34

start at 120 KIAS (160 max) nose to 15-40° high, PCL to IDLE, at 80 KIAS increase back pressure to maintain attitude, full rudder and BAM you are in an erect spin

Front 35

Where should your rudder and stick be for an erect spin

Back 35

stick full aft, ailerons neutral, rudder full deflect

Front 36

when do you start the recovery for the erect spin

Back 36

before the end of the incipient spin phase

Front 37

Why do you not wait for the spin to reach stead state

Back 37

because it can result in excess altitude loss

Front 38

What would the primary factor be for an inverted spin to occur

Back 38

PCL at MAX - because of high engine torque

Front 39

What are the characteristics of an inverted spin

Back 39

30° nose low, AOA indicating 0, turn needle deflected in the spin direction, airspeed 40 KIAS, accelerometer -1.5Gs

Front 40

Since high power is the most likely cause of inverted spins what would be the way to fix it

Back 40

reduce power to IDLE

Front 41

What is the inverted spin recovery procedure

Back 41

Gear, flaps speed brake - retracted, PCL - idle, Rudder - full opposite, Control stick - aft of neutral (up to full aft) recover to level flight

Front 42

What could be mistaken for a spin

Back 42

a spiral

Front 43

How is a spiral characterized

Back 43

nose low attitude with rapidly increasing airspeed (through 160) and the AOA less than 18

Front 44

You spin me right round right round like a record phun phact

Back 44

the aircraft may be rolling yawing or both making the spiral appear like a spin but typically they are more violent

Front 45

If you are in a spiral what should you do

Back 45

execute inadvertent departure from controlled flight boldface

Front 46

if you are spiraling below 6000 ft what should you do

Back 46

Eject

Front 47

what is a stability demonstration

Back 47

maneuver done to show you that even from high pitch attitudes and slow airspeeds aircraft will not spin as long as it isn't allowed to stall

Front 48

how do you perform a stability demonstration

Back 48

ensure proper altitude and cloud clearance, clear for traffic, complete checklist then (next slide)

Front 49

how do you perform a stability demonstration - 2

Back 49

160 KIAS at 60% torque, nose high 45°, at 80 KIAS IDLE power and neutralize all controls, allow nose to lower until positive pressure is felt on controls, recover…. This seems retarded
